Come walk on water at the 18th annual Grand Kids Festival on Saturday April 6, 2013! Set for 10am to 5pm, the festival will take place on Postoffice Street from 20th to 23rd streets, in historic downtown Galveston.

Used by all ages, all over the world, Bubble Runners are inflatable balls that you crawl inside. Once inside, the ball is filled with air and you can run like a hamster in an inflatable pool. Bubble Runners are a safe way to have fun without getting wet. 

Along with Bubble Runner, kids of all ages can try their hand at bull riding, rock wall climbing or bouncing their way through the inflatable obstacle course at The Grand Kids Festival. For the younger set, the Bumper Boats will be back for added fun!

The Grand Kids Festival was created as a “friend-raiser” for The Grand 1894 Opera House and its children’s programming. Now in its 18th year, the festival was designed as an avenue to introduce children and families to the arts. The festival will feature six entertainment areas, three blocks of activity and vendor booths as well as the petting zoo, a rock wall, inflatable attractions, a bubble pond, chalk art and more.

Festival admission on Saturday April 6, 2013 is $5.00 for adults; $3.00 for children; free for children 4 years and younger. With advance purchase, Saturday's tickets are available at half-price! Full-price tickets may be purchased at the festival gates. Additional fees may be charged for some activities.
